Big Brother Odds: Eviction Special – It’s Maxwell Or Saskia

***LATEST BIG BROTHER ODDS! CLICK HERE***

The Big Brother housemates have spoken. And they've decided to boot out either Maxwell or Saskia on Friday. The King and Queen of chav only have a few more days together before the public decide on who to vote out.

A number of Big Brother nomination anomalies happened this week: Makosi was immune to nominations after completing the secret gardenmate task, and Maxwell and Anthony were caught discussing nominations and were banned from making nominations this week. This already stacked up badly for the Caucasian team; the cidergate mega-argument only compounded the problem for them.

We predicted all this correctly yesterday, of course. But will we be right on Friday? Let us show you the hecklerspray and Betfair.com Big Brother special betting eviction odds for Saskia and Maxwell...

Ten Things We Can Learn From… Alien

Ten Things We Can Learn From… Alien

Ridley Scott has had an up-and-down career. Like a rollercoaster, only with less metal track and a lot more screams. His second feature, Alien, definitely falls into the former category. Like a rollercoaster, only with… um, less ice cream… and more… uh… ah… loop-de-loops.

Anyway, now is the time to impart our words of wisdom and tell you the ten things we can learn from Alien (DVDs). The film, that is, not the actual alien itself. Our field correspondent did try to ask it, but it just grinned at him for a moment, before we lost all visual and audio contact. Must be weather interference...

Action Movie A-Z:  The Inevitable and The Alternative

Action movies have undergone somewhat of a revolution recently. The Eighties were the golden years, bringing us the likes of Arnie, Sly and The Muscles from Brussels

However, the cinema-going public were left scratching their heads throughout the mid-to-late Nineties, when the action mantle was inexplicably taken up by such unlikely lads as Christian Slater, John Cusack and Ray Liotta,

Johnny Vegas: Likes His Food, Likes Larkins

Johnny Vegas: Likes His Food, Likes Larkins

Eighteen stone of idiot he may be, but Johnny Vegas knows his food. Eat where a fat man does, that’s what we always say. Which probably explains why his favourite restaurant Larkins (situated in his hometown of St Helens) is always packed to the rafters.

Johnny Vegas (DVDs) has pretty much cornered the market in overweight, quite possibly permanently drunk comedians. Since his big break doing the Edinburgh Fringe in 1997 he’s slowly climbed the comedy ladder to success. Well, a big fella like that, you’d hardly expect him to shimmy up like Jimmy Carr wearing a gay man’s suit and a cravat, would you?

Despite the odd potato-shaped blip, Vegas has kept it on the straight and narrow with television based comedy – fundamentally as the manic guest of choice on shows like Room 101 and Shooting Stars. He's also been fronting his own Friday night gig on Channel Four, and by most estimates Eighteen Stone of Idiot has done okay business, even with its nearly midnight slot.

Big Brother Odds – Who’ll Be Nominated?

***LATEST BIG BROTHER ODDS! CLICK HERE***

The next Big Brother eviction nominations are just around the corner. They haven't taken place yet, but that won't stop us speculating on the betting odds of each Big Brother housemate.

We're doing this for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's been a funny old week. There's a very clear divide in the house which will obviously influence the nominations, plus some housemates are immune to nominations, and others can't nominate at all.

The second reason is that if you get betting now, before the housemates have nominated, you'll get much better odds. Sure, it's a bit riskier. But when have we ever let you down? hecklerspray and Betfair.com present the Big Brother nomination special betting odds...

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince – 19 Days To Go

There are 19 days until Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is published. That's 19 days until millions of children and under-developed adults can rush out to bookshops and find out if Harry's got a new badge for his blazer, or something.

Just kidding, although people are getting worked up into a frenzy by the new book. Amazon claim that they have more than one million pre-orders of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.

Batman Begins Beats Bewitched At The US Box Office

Bewitched, the Nicole Kidman comedy remake, has failed to beat Batman Begins - the most popular movie since Star Wars: Episode III at the US Box Office this weekend.

Batman Begins is powering past all the competition at the top of the US box office - at least until Crazy Tom's War Of The Worlds comes out next week.

Tom Cruise Gets A Little More Crazy On The Today Show

He's at it again. This time, Tom Cruise has appeared on the NBC Today show, in a crazy clash with host Matt Lauer about his Scientology anti-psychiatry beliefs.

Tom Cruise went crazy at the Today host when questioned about Scientology and prescription drugs, even rejecting claims that drugs such as Ritalin help people as "glib".

You've got to hand it to Tom Cruise (DVDs) - of all the career suicides in history, this is one of the most spectacular.
